Garnet is the near-universal choice because it combines hardness, density and a sharp grain that cuts efficiently &mdash; while being tough enough not to disintegrate before it does its work, and free of the silica hazard of sand. Its consistency keeps the cutting stream stable and the edge clean.<\/p>\n      <p>For the broader material context across all uses, see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/garnet-abrasive-blast-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">garnet abrasive blast media<\/a>.<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n    <section class=\"gwj__s\" id=\"gwj-grades\">\n      <div class=\"gwj__k\">Grades<\/div>\n      <h2>Waterjet Grades<\/h2>\n      <p>Waterjet cutting uses finer, tightly graded garnet than blasting.
